Originating in Tuscany, cantucci are traditionally almond, orange and vanilla flavoured, and are usually served alongside (and dipped into) a glass of dessert wine at the end of a delicious meal. These biscotti swap almonds for hazelnuts and the delicious addition of cocoa powder for a rich, chocolaty hit. They also pair extremely well with a steaming cup of coffee and make a great edible gift when packaged up into tins and wrapped with ribbon. These cantucci will keep for up to 2 weeks if stored in an air-tight container.
